With apologies for cross-posting.
Please note that for the opportunity described History of Science, Technology, Medicine or Mathematics is broadly conceived - it would include social history of technological change, military technologies, computing, botany, exploration, broadcasting or social media from antiquity to today.
Exhibits in any kind of organisation are welcome including local record offices and museums, university museums and heritage sites of all kinds (not only specialist science or technology museums).
Please do get in touch with me at the email below if you are unsure whether your exhibit might qualify.
Best wishes,
Liz Haines

The BSHS Outreach and Education Committee is pleased to announce its fourth Great Exhibitions competition. The competition is open for any public exhibition that deals with the history of science, technology, medicine or mathematics. Entries are welcome from institutions in any country and exhibits may be permanent or temporary. Eligible exhibits must use artefacts or places of some kind and this may include buildings or locations, pictures, instruments, objects and books. Web-based exhibits are not eligible for the prize; we run a separate competition – the Ayrton Prize – for these and other digital outputs.
The closing date is 18th October 2018. Exhibits should go live no later than the end of September and still be available for viewing until the end of December 2018 to enable judging. There will be two prizes one for large and one for small exhibitions. The latter has a prize of £300. The winning exhibits will be the subject of a special feature in the BSHS’s Viewpoint magazine.
